BLUE SHOES AND HAPPINESS
ALEXANDER MCCALL SMITH
Another happy Botswana tale that relaxed my frown lines and lowered my blood pressure the minute I started to read it.
It's the usual blend of tea and crime, set right by the traditionally-built Mma Ramotswe.
If you're planning to read it, do it now. If not, head straight to the Guardian's highly condensed version.
Lessons learned:
1. New shoes are good.
2. Agony Aunts are not.
3. Tea improves thinking.
4. Even the nicest of men have stupid, preconceived notions about feminism.
5. In Any Damn Thing vs. Happiness, Happiness always wins.
